FAQ

Does the Q55 have any mechanism that would allow it to be controlled remotely, such as by computer?

No, it does not. If you require remote control of a Sonicator, the Q500 and Q125 have a 9-pin D-sub connector which enables such functionality.

 

I have a high-temperature application. What is the maximum temperature that I can operate the probe in?

The probe itself can withstand temperatures as high as 140°F / 60°C. Higher temperature applications can be accommodated, but they require a custom probe. Please contact us with the details of your application to see if a special probe can be designed for it.

 

What are the probes made of?

Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.

 

How viscous of a substance can a Sonicator homogenize?

A good rule of thumb is if you can’t pour it then you can’t sonicate it. Substances with approximately the viscosity of honey (around 4000 cps) are the most viscous substances that a Sonicator can effectively process.

 

Is the Q55 UL listed or CSA approved?

Not explicitly, but all Sonicators are cTUVus certified. This certification combines the common UL and CSA standards for electronic equipment and is accepted as equivalent for most regulatory purposes.

 

How frequently does the ultrasonic horn (probe) need to be replaced?

Unfortunately that doesn't have a set answer. There are too many variables that effect the life of a horn and Qsonica has never done a study on the life span of a horn. Under light use and an application that is easy on the horn, an ultrasonic horn might last years. With continuous use and an unfavorable application, it might only last days.

The life span of a horn is dependent on multiple factors, including but not limited to:

  • The presence of solids. Particulate will wear the horn. The larger, harder, and more concentrated the particulate, the faster the wear.
  • Acidic solutions will wear the horn faster than neutral or basic solutions.
  • Using the probe at higher amplitude will wear the horn faster.
  • The size of the probe. Smaller diameter horns wear faster than large ones, as they operate at higher amplitudes and have less titanium available to wear.

Ultimately, you will need to empirically determine how long your horn will last in your application. You'll know it needs replacing when your processing starts to become less efficient.

Good sunblock
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
This is my go-to sunblock reconnect by my dermatologist. It has a good skin feel, and seems to do the job required.

Perfect protection for daily use
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
This is my go-to sunscreen for my daily use. I have stuck to a strict skin care routine and at the end, it’s extremely important to have a sunscreen to seal the deal. And this does just that. It doesn’t leave that nasty white streaks from the sunscreen and goes on very nicely. Out of my months of using this I have never been uncomfortable with it and the smell is very refreshing unlike other brands of sunscreen. Most importantly, this doesn’t feel greasy or overly slick. Perfect balance.

Great
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
While it is a bit thick, that can be great for sweaty summer activities (also it's purpose)! It does not leave a white cast (on me, though I am pale, I have experienced this with other sunscreens) and smells okay, not great but like a sunscreen would be expected to. It's not a super strong scent and does not burn my eyes. Sits good under my makeup as well.

Great protection and not greasy.
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
This sunscreen is great. It is not greasy and protects for a long time. I have had a few battles with skin cancer, but feel confident that this stuff will protect me. Yesterday was hot and sunny and my skin was still protected after 4 hours on the golf course.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.
